This script helped me alot. Later on, though, I found out that it messed with the media upload in my posts perhaps because it was calling the media uploader scripts twice. I solved it by adding

if( $hook != 'widgets.php' ) 
    return;

Like this:

// queue up the necessary js
function hrw_enqueue($hook) {

if( $hook != 'widgets.php' ) 
    return;

  wp_enqueue_style('thickbox');
  wp_enqueue_script('media-upload');
  wp_enqueue_script('thickbox');
  // I also changed the path, since I was using it directly from my theme and not as a plugin
  wp_enqueue_script('hrw', get_template_directory_uri() . '/js/script.js', null, null, true);
}
add_action('admin_enqueue_scripts', 'hrw_enqueue');

That way the widget calls the uploader script only in the widgets' page and not in the entire admin.
